B.C. forest fire smoke pours into Saskatchewan

Jul 17, 2017 | 8:35 AM

Smoke from forest fires in British Columbia has made its way to Saskatchewan.

Several communities in southwest and central Saskatchewan woke up Monday morning to hazy conditions.

Environment Canada issued a special air quality statement shortly after 6 a.m. warning people may experience coughing, throat irritation, headaches or shortness of breath.

Children, seniors and those with lung or cardiovascular conditions were listed as being particularly at-risk.
